Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Manchester United will look to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Brentford when they face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Saturday evening. The Red Devils aim to rejoin the title race and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Blades on Matchday 9. Returnee Antony is pushing for a start, while Casemiro should keep his place in the starting XI after overcoming his injury.
All Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia remain in the recovery room. The Blades, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only one point on their account and given their shaky defence, we predict that Erik ten Hag’s men are going to pick up all three points from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Man Utd, but their injury list remains pretty long.

Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.

Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
